You will definitely need a big coat. I had frost on my tent last year, and it gets cold as soon as the sun dips.

Just bear in mind that you will very likely end up in Pink car parks, which is quite a long walk from Gate D! Pack wisely!

Where was the cider festival? I was waiting to stumble across it last year but never did! Ended up thinking it must have been in the beer courtyard but they'd sold out
It was in the Babbling Tongues Field, down at the bottom bar. They had a brilliant range of great ciders!

It was bloody cold overnight wasn't it? Frost on the tent and everything!
And roasting hot during the day!!

Exactly! Glastonbury isn't delayed at all - and I'm not sure that Green Man is particularly late either. Neither have to rush - they are both sold out. Its nice, but not essential, for us punters to have the line up months in advance, and it makes no sense to rush a line-up from a festival's perspective unless they have tickets to sell.
Patience!

What's orange camping?

Bo Ningen off that line up too ❤️

Total non-starter as it clashes with Farmer Phil's Festival lol
Interestingly you can take dogs to Farmer Phil's as well.
Farmer Phils capacity approx 2000
Krakenhaus capacity approx 250Lakefest.... approx 15000
I know where my dog (if I had one) would be going!

I'm astounded that people think it's a good idea to take a dog to the front of a popular gig, dog welfare aside, people will fall over them, what happens if they poo, etc etc.
I know Krankenhaus festival allows dogs but it's not really a big gathering there.

We went a few years ago. Found the atmosphere a bit strange to be honest. The crowd werent unfriendly but then werent friendly either (in the way Bearded Theory or Beautiful Days are). Also found it odd people took their dogs into the tent (which is also the main stage) and went down the front.
Camping next to the car was good though!
People took dogs down the front? Omfg, that's good reason all by itself not to let dogs or their owners into festivals. Poor dogs.

I saw something from BT prob on their FB page that said something along the lines of "More news coming very soon" with the Eyes emoji.

CV East shares the same entrance to the festival as the main carparks, so you can walk from one to the other - as long as she parks in East Carparks and not West.

Seen him many times over the years and always great. Only issue is that out of that 2 hour set and hour will be him talking politics and I always think for the most part it will be preaching to the converted.
There was a lot of chat, of course, and he welcomed new members of the audience that might have found him through his "response" song to the American guy, through union involvement for striking teachers/nhs/rail/amazon etc. He also pleaded to his often male, middle aged audience to understand and get more involved in supporting trans communities in the same way they might have done with the gay community in the 80s. I like to think that many people took away something to think about, I certainly did.

Milburn completely passed me by, I mean totally, no idea who they are. Any good, or indie landfill? Struggle to see how that line-up would sell unless its around £35...
-
Billy Bragg - I've seen him umpteen times at festivals so knew exactly what I was going to get - and he didn't disappoint. What I was impressed with though, was his 2 hour set and I heard a number of songs I'd never heard before and they were beautiful! But as usual his gigs leave me feeling full of fight and hope #GTTO!

There's still plenty of places to camp for later arrivals, some advantage as they tend to be a bit further out and therefore quieter.
Downside of WV on coach is that it's a bloody long walk from gate A to WV.

Can anyone suggest the best way to get hold of a live in vehicle pass (normal, not settlers)? They were all gone by the time we got tickets.
Keep your eye on Twickets and Fanticks nearer the time, or book a campsite and shuttlebus in every day

I think JA is a pallet headliner, Amyl, Future and Sleaford are either Subs or Meadow Headliners, with Orbital heading the replacement "dance tent"

Very sad for the young woman and her family.
But what a set of lowlifes. That's half a dozen "tickets" back in the pot for this year though - and a few years to come! Assuming they had hit F5 in the normal way of course....

I'd be happy with a lot of that...but...you missed out The Wedding Present!!

Well, no, not really. These are different questions. My apologies for having more than question.
Thanks to those have been helpful, but I am guessing I am no longer welcome here.
Ignore him Nick, the rest of us don't mind answering questions.

Thanks, both. So is this the process?
1. Register to be allowed to buy tickets
2. Buy tickets in November, which are still refundable at this point
3. Make a refundable booking for rentable camper van for Glastonbury week. If nothing is available, cancel Glastonbury tickets for a refund.
4. Book a Glastonbury camper van "pitch" when they become available. If nothing available, cancel both van booking and Glastonbury tickets for refunds.
5. Assuming both van and pitch are secured, pay the Glastonbury ticket balance in April, and insure against camper van rental company reneging.
Pretty much right!
When you buy your tickets in November, you only pay a deposit (that was £50 last year, may be different). If you decide not to pay the balance in the week long window in April, then you lose your ticket and some of your deposit. If you do pay the balance, the ticket is yours.
I've never done a van to Glasto so not sure on the rest of it - you just need to make sure your van rental is refundable when you book I guess. It is possible to stay in a van at other places, eg a local campsite, there's details of these around, so I wouldn't necessarily just cancel everything if you don't get a campervan ticket until you've explored all the options. Keep an eye out on here, lots of info will become available nearer the time.
You make a great point about insurance, I've heard of some where the van company goes bust between booking and festival, leaving people out of pocket and out of accommodation. Sad.

1. Register with a photo (on the Glastonbury website). You need to be registered to buy tickets
2. Buy your ticket deposit in November, good luck!
3. Sometimes the camper van tickets go on sale immediately, but the publicity will tell you the dates. You buy a pitch either in the East fields or at Bath&West showground. You need to provide your own camper van.
If you want other off site options there are various companies eg Love Fields, Ziggu, Tangerine Fields etc who provide a number of mainly tent-based options. Or you can try for accommodation in a hotel or bnb locally.
Hope this helps
